Our commitment to sustainability

Sustainability is important to us, without preaching and, where possible, without compromising on comfort.

There are hardly any areas with sewerage systems on Madeira, which means that all wastewater usually flows through a 3-chamber septic tank on the property and later seeps into the ground. Therefore, wherever possible, we use biodegradable cleaning/washing/personal care products.

Our houses are insulated with Portuguese cork. This not only ensures a pleasant indoor climate, but can also be easily disposed of in the distant future.

We have a water filtration system to provide clean, healthy water without harmful additives. We believe that drinking water from our tap is a better alternative than water in PET bottles.

Duvets, pillows, bed linen and towels are made entirely from natural fibres (cotton and silk) in environmentally friendly quality.

The photovoltaic system uses solar energy for our electricity consumption.

Only non-chemical products are used in the garden.
